There was a time, long long ago, before DACs proliferated the market, before RaspberryPi or Roon or even network players, when Foobar2000 and WinAmp were the top choices for computer audio.
Back when Kernel streaming, ASIO, and Otachan Foobar2000 plugins were all the rage. Before even Windows WASAPI.
A time when people used sound cards plugged into their computer motherboards.
Back then Foobar2000 sounded like a dream, tight base, clean crisp highs, vocals on point, everything was great.
So when was the last time you listened to this once great piece of software? Have you compared it to our current offerings in terms of sound quality?
Currently, I am listening to Foobar2000 in my office, its still impressive imo.
